5 amp circuit breakers

We are a little confused as to which circuit breakers we are supposed to use for the digital sidecar and the analog breakout. The rules tell us that we need to use 22 AWG wire, but doesn't say anything about what type of curcuit breaker we should use. We checked on-line, and the max load for 22 AWG wire is 7 amps. According to the wiring diagram, we are supposed to put the wires on the "max 30" amp curcuit breakers. But we found another wiring diagram (In Part 3 of the Controls System Manual) that says we should use a 5 amp circuit breaker. The problem is that this diagram comes with a disclamer "This Diagram may not comply with all FIRST rules." Can someone please help us?

Thank you!
